    • My husband and I and our two dogs spent 4 days at Paradise Cottage and loved it. The house and location were great and we were treated like family. I would definitley come back. The beach is walking distance and the restaurants were all great. Thanks John and Francesca for your hospitality and making us feel very comfortable. Dan and Laura Haywood

    • Run, don't walk to Paradise Cottage in Summerland. It lives up to its name in every way. The location is within close proximity to the beach and wonderful restaurants and an easy, quick drive to Santa Barbara, Carpenteria, etc. The home is beautiful, spotlessly clean, and has so many ammenities not offered at other rentals. Extra surprises greeted us when we arrived -- warm brownies, fresh fruit and flowers. We enjoyed an extraordinary week and will return.

    • We loved the Paradise cottage! We felt at home the minute we arrived. There were homemade brownies waiting for us in the kitchen along with a goody basket and beverages in the refrigerator. All the rooms are nicely appointed and cozy. The cottage also has a very nice little yard and side patio that are completely fenced. We had small children and a dog with us so this was a bonus. I can't wait for the next opportunity to come back here.

    • I just returned from a stay at Paradise Cottage, and can attest that it is aptly named! Simply put, Paradise Cottage is a gem! Both the cottage and yard are beautifully appointed and immaculately maintained, and teeming with special touches that make it feel like (or better than!) home. Add fresh flowers, fresh brownies, fresh fruit, fluffy robes, and you've got Paradise! I definitely recommend Paradise Cottage to others who are planning a visit to the Santa Barbara area.

    • Our stay at Paradise Cottage went beyond any expectations we had. It was a perfect setting in a beautiful location. The attention to detail was apparent from the first moment we entered the cottage, from the luxurious robes in each room to the homemade brownies left for us upon our arrival. We look forward to staying again soon!

    • What a totally delightful experience! Our hostess was gracious and incredibly responsive to every question and any concern (of which there were few and those were minor). The cottage was warmly decorated and completely immaculate. The kitchen was so well equipped that any cooking of any kind was possible and the creative use of space in the cottage was amazing. We went and did a lot during the day and at night, it was nice to come back to a place that felt "homey". We enjoyed it so much that we plan to rebook for next year.

    • My husband and I spent an absolutely fantastic week at Paradise cottage in November. There was nothing we could want for. Spotlessly clean with the most comfortable beds,it was better than home. The view over the Pacific is something we will never forget. The location was ideal for finding the best restaurants in adjacent towns. this was truly paradise.
